28th Anniversary of Mojdeh Art Gallery

With a delay of nearly a month, we celebrated the 28th anniversary of Mojdeh Art Gallery.

As people approach the end of a decade, particularly their twenties, they often experience a peculiar state of mind—a feeling that has inspired countless works of art across all seven art forms.

Now, this gallery is not a person, but an institution, born out of the dedication and vision of a woman who founded it in 1998, a decade that can historically be regarded as the birth era of several important galleries, established largely by courageous women who strived to preserve and promote Iranian art.

The first two decades of its existence coincided with the emergence and growing international recognition of contemporary Iranian art, a time when doors were beginning to open. From its third decade onward, however, the gallery encountered various challenges, much like others of its generation. Yet, it never ceased to resist and persevere. Perhaps this is precisely the peculiar state of mind the gallery finds itself in today, amid these difficult times.

Today, we joyfully celebrate 28 years of Mojdeh Art Gallery’s presence in the visual arts scene. We hope that, with your continued support and companionship, we can navigate this challenging journey and play a meaningful role in the history of Iranian art.
